    If Carl Froch beats Arthur Abraham, will he earn your respect?

    This guy just loves to fight and is hardly ever in a boring fight (Dirrell ran and spoiled, get over it).. so the question is, after all the hate this guy gets.. even though he has an entertaining style (Always comes to fight), has the right attitude and mentality of a fighter.. will he earn your respect if he beats Arthur Abraham in a war?

    My only beef with Froch is that he tends to dig holes for himself, like in the Kessler fight.. he took rounds off and wasn't active enough.. he could've won in what in the end was a close fight.

    What do you think?

      I have plenty of respect for him already.

      His current stretch of fights is probably the most difficult of any fighter in the entire sport.

      Sadly the British fans don't know a real fighter when they see one and are stuck on the nuts of posers like Haye.

        Look..

        Pascal (new LHW champ)
        Taylor (in his back yard)
        Dirrel
        Kessler bit of a robbery they had the belt for kessler even before the judges decided... even though it was VERY close (many had froch winning)
        AA (if he wins)

        Who has a better resume? in there last 5 fights? top 10 p4p if he beats AA IMO

          i think froch won the kessler fight and i already like him

          i won't be surprised if he beats AA.. it will be close but IMO AA has a style bad for froch and ward and will beat both

            It is sad.. his Pascal fight was on TV (free) and got huge ratings.. i can't understand why they won't show him more often...

              I thought the first few posts would be hating on Froch, I always read people clowning on him.. but IMO hes a true warrior with a resume that puts Calzaghes to shame.. also it doesn't hurt hes a hilarious egomaniac.

                  Carl Froch has earned my respect already. He has taken on some really tough challenges. The Pascal fight was a classic,most champions would then opt for some cherry picking after getting the belt especially British ones but froch went to the States to fight Taylor. Froch is the best most gutsy British fighter. This next fight against Abrahamis a huge fight.

                    Carl shouldn't have to beat AA for people to respect him. If he fights like a warrior, win or lose, he should be respected.
